In its Weekly Update for Destiny, Bungie has revealed that animal mounts won’t be heading to the sci-fi, multiplayer shooter, mainly because PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) would have a field day with the animal rights flouting.

“We considered animal mounts, but the weight-load of the Titan’s heavy armor kept breaking their backs, and we knew that PETA would go absolutely berserk.” The good news is you’ll find plenty of normal vehicles to murder perps with, though Bungie has yet to reveal the exact nature of the same.

It also seems that Destiny will feature second screen support from its Bungie Mobile App. As of now, it’s not confirmed as to what exactly The Companion, which is the name of this particular functionality will do but it will be available for iOS and Android. Maybe help manage your friends when conducting raids or sortees?

Some of the new features help integrate your smartphone or tablet with the new console. You’ll be able to view what your friends are playing, check your profile or recent activity and compare Trophies. You’ll also be able to chat with friends, with the chat-system being cross-platform with the PS4 and Vita, receive notification and even use your mobile as an on-screen keyboard for the PS4.

The app will also allow for new second-screen features, expected to be unique for each game, that will offer different challenges. If that weren’t enough, you can also easily access the PlayStation Store and browse through guides and manuals online.
